Dear Kolbe Family Foundation Community
As we reflect on the contributions of our veterans and the road ahead for our country, we are reminded of the strength and resilience that bind us together as Americans. This season, we aim to honor the sacrifices of our veterans from every generation, welcome home those who served during difficult times, and renew our commitment to unity and progress.
Honoring Our Heroes
Our WWII Veterans:
The last remaining veterans of WWII are national treasures. They served valiantly in one of the most challenging periods of modern history, helping to safeguard freedom for future generations. We owe them our deepest respect, and we must honor their legacy as living witnesses to a time when Americans banded together to overcome adversity.
Our Forgotten Korean Veterans:
Too often overlooked, our Korean War veterans served in harsh conditions and sacrificed greatly, yet their stories remain under-recognized. These veterans fought in what is often called “the Forgotten War,” and they deserve our gratitude, acknowledgment, and respect.
Our Vietnam Veterans:
The Vietnam era marked a tumultuous chapter in our history. Returning home, these veterans faced a divided nation that often greeted them with hostility rather than gratitude. Today, we embrace them with open arms, acknowledging the courage they displayed both in service and in facing the hardships that followed. We welcome them home and honor their bravery, resilience, and loyalty.
Building Unity in Our Nation
As we transition into a new chapter for our country, we recognize that recent times have been marked by division and strife. Our veterans remind us that unity is possible, even in the face of profound challenges. Now more than ever, it’s vital that we come together as one nation, setting aside our political differences to support each other and work toward the common good. No matter our backgrounds or beliefs, we share a bond in our love for this country and our desire for peace and prosperity.
Together, let us encourage the new administration to serve the interests of every American, honoring the sacrifices made by those who fought for our freedom and embodying the principles that make our nation strong. Just as our veterans did in their time of service, may we all commit to fostering unity, compassion, and understanding as we move forward.
Our Commitment
At the Kolbe Family Foundation, we remain steadfast in our dedication to supporting veterans and honoring their sacrifices. Through our initiatives, such as Honor Flights, service dog sponsorships, and funding educational programs, we strive to make a difference in the lives of those who have served.
Let’s take this opportunity to welcome our veterans, remember their sacrifices, and stand together as a community. We can help build a future worthy of their service.
With gratitude and hope,
The Kolbe Family
